The departures board is clicking as the letters flip around People rushing down the platform with their eyes stuck on the ground I adjusted both the straps upon my canvas shoulder bag Watching everybody sprint like they are running for a flag I took two steps forward when the bell began to chime Let the crowd exhaust their panic while I take my own sweet time Signals turn from amber over to a steady green Gliding through the morning like an unbothered machine Step across the yellow line Take the rails on the Express Run, moving fast and clean Nothing getting in between the spaces in the scene Looking out the window as the stations blur away Express Run rolling to the start of a better day Poured a drink of piping coffee from the little screw-off top Knowing this train skips the local and it does not have a stop They can argue over seats and who got pushed against the door I am sitting in the quiet and I am looking out for more Track rails shining wet beneath the gray morning sky Every second moving steady as the suburbs pass on by Signals turn from amber over to a steady green Gliding through the morning like an unbothered machine Step across the yellow line Take the rails on the Express Run, moving fast and clean Nothing getting in between the spaces in the scene Looking out the window as the stations blur away Express Run rolling to the start of a better day (Turn the page. Next chapter.) Take the rails on the Express Run, moving fast and clean (Fast and clean) Nothing getting in between the spaces in the scene (In the scene) Looking out the window as the stations blur away (Blur away) Express Run rolling to the start of a better day (Better day) (Doors closing) (Next stop, terminal)
